YAMAHA XY-X Cartesian robots: Arm, Gantry, Pole and XZ type variations

XY-X multi-axis cartesian robots

The YAMAHA XY-X series covers a wide range of Cartesian robot configurations, from compact 2-axis units to heavy-duty 4-axis systems, so the structure can be matched to your specific application rather than adapting your process to a fixed design. Arm, Gantry, Moving arm, Pole and XZ variations are available with a wide choice of stroke and payload combinations. Multi-axis controllers support several axis groups running in parallel, with EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, CC-Link, DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP for integration into existing production lines.

Wide variation of arm and functionalities
From a compact low-price arm to a heavy payload and long distance transfer
Standard up to 6 axis control can be programmed
Available for wide range of applications: Sealing, Assembling, Inserting, Machining, Taking-out, and Packaging

YAMAHA multi-axis cartesian robot key features

High durability guide structure

A 4-row circular arc groove guide resists misalignment and overhang loads better than a conventional 4-point contact guide.

Reliable resolver-based positioning

Position detection uses a resolver, which is less affected by dew condensation, oil contact or electronic component failure than an optical encoder.

Easy maintenance

The motor and ball screw can be replaced individually, even in the built-in structure.

Cost-effective design

A reduced parts count lowers cost while maintaining performance, including on absolute specification models.

Lightweight and compact

A couplingless built-in motor and ball screw structure reduces dead space and footprint.

Double Y-axis option

A nut rotation type structure (NXY-W) allows two processes on a single compact unit instead of two separate robots.

Pole type

Vertically moving Y-axis carriage. Suited for pick and place with height changes

YAMAHA XY-X Cartesian robot, Pole type with vertically moving Y-axis carriage

XZ type

Combination of X-axis for horizontal movement and Z-axis for vertical movement. Suited for applications needing only horizontal and vertical motion.

Shaft upward/downward type

ZR axis integrated

Double Y axis

Sealing application

A dispenser nozzle is mounted on the Cartesian robot (SXYx/MXYx with Z-axis) to automate the sealing process. When the workpiece deviates from its original position, the vision system detects the deviation and corrects the path. The RCX340 controller can run multiple axis groups in parallel, so dual-lane sealing lines can operate with reduced cycle time.

Long distance travel and heavy weight loading

2.5m vertical axis for loading / unloading high stacks. Rigid even while momentary overhang of the Z-axis
